McIntosh leads all AAAAA schools in Georgia in the race for the 2013-14 Directors Cup awarded by the Georgia Athletic Directors Association (GADA).
The GADA uses a point system to rank schools based on their teams’ performance in individual sports, and the schools with the highest point totals for all sports at the end of the year win the awards in each classification.
At the end of the fall season, McIntosh has 376 overall points to lead AAAAA, with Winder-Barrow a distant second at 271.
The bulk of these points have come through girls’ sports, with the Lady Chiefs amassing 294 points so far compared to second-place Northgate’s 227.
